- IBG is not limited to encyclopedias and encyclopedic content.
- IBG can be applied to a diverse set of information mediums including quotes, citations, explanations, statistics and images.
- IBG enables information to be shared quickly without commentary and padding.
- IBG does not require advanced technology beyond a text editor and a webpage.
- IBG is a set of guidelines rather than a protocol, so variation outside of the guidelines is encouraged.
